Command


The CF Chief of Force Development (CFD) signed off the new ACGU/NZ Combined Joint Military Information Exchange Annex (CJMIEA) to the CJ3IEM MOU on 13 March 2012.

The CF fully supports this MOU and Annex, the latter of which is focused on exchanging military information and technical data related to combined, coalition or multi-lateral Air Operations Training.

ACGU/NZ CJ3IEM MOU


Although this Annex is focused on Air Operations Training within a multi-national coalition environment, its applications support joint and combined military operations and training with particular emphasis on Air-Land-Maritime integration and interoperability.

It is Canada’s intention, in the near term, to establish a Maritime Annex (CJMIEA) to support Joint & Combined Maritime Operations Training. We are also exploring the possibility of Land and Joint IE Annexes as well as better synergy with ABCA Armies in this regard.

For Canada, this agreement to exchange information and data directly supports and is complimentary to the proposed ACGU/NZ Training Environment.

ACGU/NZ CJ3IEM MOUCont’d


The CF: Continues to be committed to working closely with our Allies

and other partners in preparing effectively for future military operations worldwide. This includes developing new and updated capabilities and training together.

Supports in principle the development and establishment of the proposed ACGU/NZ Training Environment.

Emphasizes that the new Training Environment must address and support not just multinational training but also capability development. In our view, the Goal is enhanced National and ACGU military operational capability and readiness.

The Bottom Line up Front


Tenets

Better than what we have had in the past….Value Added in that it fills collective capability gaps.

A Persistent, network-enabled learning environment built and maintained on trust, robust information sharing, agility, interdependence and equal opportunity.

Multi-nationally agreed upon capabilities and tools must be compatible, international-standards compliant, open and interoperable that collectively meet National and ACGU/NZ operational, training and capability development requirements.

The New ACGU/NZ Joint Training & CapDev Environment


Tenets Cont’d

The importance of establishing and collectively maintaining a robust, persistent, agile and trusted 5-Eyes Information Systems Network to support this new training and capability development environment cannot be overstated.

The ability to effectively plan, conduct and learn together from capability development activities and distributed mission operations and training within this new distributed environment will depend in large part on effective and efficient connectivity.

For Canada, we will continue to support a hybrid Network of Networks (NoN) approach that will include national and international networks such as the CF Training & Experimentation Network (CFXNet), the US JTEN and the multinational CFBLNet. This hybrid capability will allow us to connect to our national and international Allies and other partners as required to meet DND/CF requirements.

The New ACGU/NZ Joint Training & CapDev Environment


There is significant value in establishing an enhanced ACGU distributed training and capability development environment. An agile, collaborative, distributed working environment will benefit all partners allowing the ACGU family to leverage each other’s work and to problem solve and train together.

In these times of transformation, fiscal constraint and diminishing budgets, all Nations will gain significant efficiencies by developing and maintaining this environment together to meet national and ACGU requirements.

Critical to success for this new environment will be to include integral standards-based, advanced, network-enabled capabilities characterized, in large part, by a persistent, high bandwidth and on-demand ability to effectively conduct joint and combined distributed capability development and training activities. We look forward to developing this new environment together!
